 One Billion Dollars
First I would take a large chunk of it and invest it for "perpetual income" so I (or my heirs) would always have money coming in. I would then take a lonnnnnnnng "vacation" in various spots around the world to rejuvinate myself and my family, clear my mind, and make a list of ways I could use the money to help mankind. I wouldn't need a huge sum to live on, so the majority would be used for these causes. If the money was invested right, there would always be money available for the various causes I choose to support. I would have a foundation set up to control the money and continue to support these causes even after my death.
